Sony announced resumption of PlayStation Network service in Japan for this week. In what seems to be one of the company’s most serious blunders, Sony will complete global restoration of PSN on July 6.

Apparently, PlayStation Store and Qriocity services will be available in Japan as of July 6. While the company took care of other regions of the world, Japanese authorities have been much stricter and demanded assurances of security.

It is said that the company lost $170 million in the process. It includes investigation, rebuilding of security systems, identity theft monitoring and compensating users with free games.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit players on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be able to buy some new downloadable car packs to add to their cars in the months ahead. Both a Lamborghini and Porsche DLC packs are in the works, but neither the developer nor publisher would confirm that this is the case.

According to our sources, the packs will likely be sold for $10 or 800 Microsoft points when they are released, but our sources tell us that the pricing is still in flux and could go up or down, depending on a lot of factors.

Speaking of when they are released, PC players will likely not be able to get their hands on the DLC car packs, as the developer and publisher previously announced that they would not be offering additional DLC content for the PC version of the game. While some PC players are holding out the slim hope that they might see some additional cars in the next patch for the PC version of the game, our sources tell us not to count on it.

Expect news to break in the next few days on the plays for both the Lamborghini and Porsche DLC packs and when they will arrive for sale.
